Hi, my name is Phil, and I need your help.

I have been bedridden for almost a month, not able to do much more than hobble to the bathroom and I really need a wheelchair.

But wheelchairs are expensive, and I can't exactly get a job in this condition.

Here's how you can help: I will be posting my writings on a Buy me a coffee account. If you could just spare a dollar to help support me that would be appreciated.

Buy me a coffee

If you don't have money to spare, please just share and get the word out so I can get as much help as possible.

Thank you so much for the support and have a nice day!

As this is my partner, I will also draw something for you if you donate!!!

✩OPEN✩ Will edit and reblog if/when this status changes

$5 for chibi art, $10 for a bust, $15 for half body. These would be flat color, but I can do more rendering and/or simple backgrounds for more!

+50% of the original price for a second character! More complex characters may be simplified because I don't have a ton of free time rn. Pixel art versions also an option! If you don't want a character drawn, I could potentially do an item or landscape too, just ask me first!

Will do(to the best of my ability): anthros/furries, animals, slight gore, ships, character adopts/designs

WILL NOT DO: heavy gore, NSFW, complex mecha, heavy drug use. If you're unsure of something, feel free to ask me.

I see your “Rocky swears like a sailor but only in pitches humans can’t hear/refuses to teach Grace what those words mean” and raise you “Rocky swears like a sailor and now has to explain to Grace that ‘bad bad bad’ isn’t actually a sequence you play on your Eridian speech piano in polite company.”

Grace is both horrified and amused to realise that a more accurate translation for what Rocky’s been saying is “shit shit shit”.

[spielzeugkaiser]

To be fair, Rocky also needed some time to correctly interpret Graces needs- (I also did Grace comforting Rocky here)

james ortiz provided some of his own personal rocky backstory on the sag aftra podcast, transcribed by me because we all have to be miserable about it together.

link to the podcast, this section below is from timestamp 24.35

“andy weir provided a packet to the creature shop that was like a packet of eridian biology and stuff but there wasn’t much about eridian culture or eridian sociology and i made a bunch of choices going in because i just needed to have like a ‘who am i?’ right? 

[…] and i made a decision that rocky’s species, that eridians are really social animals that in fact are like a beehive or a pod of dolphins - it’s a unique and really integrated ecosystem of everybody doing their [specific] part. and the fact that rocky had to fly that ship for about 45 years - longer than grace has been alive, i wanna point that out - he’s been alone on that ship, having to run that by himself and- ryan and i would talk about that, one day we sat down and he was like “so what’s the movie from rocky’s perspective?” and i was like “oh it’s like ‘alien’, […] like he’s in a ‘contagion’ movie by himself and he has no idea what’s going on.”

he’s basically in castaway by himself which of course ryan is too but like, one reason why we never cut to the past of rocky is like, i think it was really horrifying! i don’t think rocky has slept in however many years and so a thing i was really struggling with is this idea of like “rocky must watch sleep” because how do you make that a need as opposed to like, a cute idea? and i just had to make the decision that […] he has a lot of unprocessed trauma around the things that he doesn’t understand and how much he is blaming himself because he’s the guy who fixes, he’s the guy who fixes and there was something really freeing about deciding that rocky was a deeply emotional, deeply anxious, deeply horrified person - being - that is trying to move through that in some way and how that affects the early scenes with him until there’s a point in the story where you can see we’ve physically softened rocky’s behaviour, because he’s finally feeling more safe and ok but all of that lore, all of that information [was essential].

i also decided, this is just a small nerdy thing, that there was actually some of his family, was on that ship too.”

If your child "becomes" autistic after hanging out with an autistic person, then they were always autistic. They were drawn to someone who sees the world in a similar way, and being around other similar people made them feel safe being themself instead of being who you want them to be.

[kyoukorpse]

i know rocky still technically got to play with the measuring tape in the movie but the way it happened in the book always makes me smile when I read it. :]

Hi guys! I thought I should just share my whole mini little library of Project Hail Mary-related things so they're all in one place:

It includes:

A digital copy of the movie (with subtitles in 30+ languages via download)

My transcript of the movie (more on that here)

Audio recordings of the movie

A PDF of the book

An EPUB of the book (for e-readers)

The full audiobook

A copy of Andy Weir's doc on Eridians

A copy of Andy Weir's spreadsheet on Astrophage physics (among many other things!)

A draft of the screenplay for the film from 2022

An audio recording of the director's commentary

My transcript of the director's commentary

There is also a UHD copy (that's too big to fit in the drive) here!:

Proton Drive

Securely store, share, and access your important files and photos. Anytime, anywhere.

Please note that because of the way that google drive works, some of the subtitles only work if you download the file yourself.

The audiobook, audio recordings, and commentary all have their properties programmed so they (should) work just like songs with a track number, album cover, artist, and so on if you download them.

There are two audios of the movie, one is the entire film untouched and one is that same audio cut up and broken down into separate scenes for convenience.

Additionally, there are two versions of the movie transcript, one with time stamps that match the audio recording and one without. The time stamps (+ their titles from the audio) are outlined in that version, so if you double-click on that tab or click "show outline," they'll all show up and you can pick a specific scene.

Similiarly, there are two different versions of the director's commentary transcript. The first is made to listen along to the commentary, while the second is more intended to be read on its own. The first is a direct transcription of everything that's said (an attempt, at least), while the second is slightly cleaned up for easier reading, meaning things like jumbled sentences and stuttering were removed or reorganised, but nothing has been actually paraphrased. Both are broken down into different scenes based on how their conversation goes, and the listening version includes timestamps. 

The first few seconds of the commentary are missing unfortunately as my US friend who was kind enough to record it for me had some technical difficulties at the start, but the she paraphrased the part that was missed. The commentary starts at that first red shot of Ryland Grace's face in the coma suit 32 seconds into the digital copy.

There's also a google doc with some instructions to follow if any of the files aren't working, which usually happens when too many people try to access or download something at the same time.

As always, if anything's not working right or you notice any mistakes in anything, please let me know and I'll fix it as soon as I can!

i dont get offended at white people jokes even though im white because: 

i can recognize white people as a whole have systemically oppressed POC in america, which is where i live 

most people when they make white people jokes only mean the shitty white people and i am not a shitty white person 

im not a pissbaby

[damncommunists-deactivated20180]

my white friends that have reblogged this give me life

[zelda-tempest]

4. Sometimes I am a shitty white person and the jokes remind me to FUCKIN STOP

[lallamariamhabibi]

If ur white and like this post I fux with u

[birdpapi-deactivated20171121]

^absolutely

[verdant-witch]

5. It’s hard to be offended when white people jokes involve bland food/tourist dads in socks and sandals/white girls in yoga pants obsessed with pumpkin spice/suburban PTA moms and other harmless and mostly true stereotypes while jokes about POC involve them being called thugs/criminals/slurs/uneducated/illegal immigrants.

[blackpoeticinjustice]

i fucks with u heavy if ur white and you reblog this

[sm0k3-ring-deactivated20160109]

6. They’re usually really fucking funny and don’t perpetuate stereotypes that will ever affect me economically, politically, or cause me any true harm, let alone create risks that “justify” my murder and/or death

[jester-gestures]

Mark knowing? Fine. It's his job to work and be online. I feel like I'm a bug and my rock was lifted off me but fine.

Now Ryan.

If Ryan, the chronically offline 45 year old girl dad of two, does anything to show acknowledgement of us, I'm going to fucking send myself into orbit with how loudly I'll shriek.

[joycomplexx]

by the way it's fine to like sexual content just for the sake of it. "we can't ban porn because other stuff will get banned" "sometimes nude art has value" "the government will classify queer people as sexual" this is all true but it's okay to just like porn. its okay to not want porn to be banned because you like it.

[avalonjoan]

This is like the “people use birth control medications to treat lots of other health conditions so it’s important we protect their access to it” argument. It’s actually okay for people to take a medication solely for the purpose of having sex without getting pregnant, and access should be protected even on that basis alone.

Grace: the Fox hunted down by hunting dogs.

Simon: the Fox caught in a trap who tried to gnaw it’s leg off to escape.

[itshamwich]

all the little petrova line references in this movie drive me mad, this one in particular

every single time it catches my eye cause what do you mean he is just learning about it and these little mics look like tiny astrophage leading to him

omg it drives me insane

[donabene]

i really love a lot of the comments on the phm subreddit

(canon typical discussion of suicide methods at the link)

[silmarienthequeen]

I think this really speaks to the kind of story Project Hail Mary is. We’re expecting the gun to be used. There are aliens, and most sci fi stories involve fighting aliens. You even have the gun for it. But that’s not the kind of story it is. It rejects violence. What is used instead is the nitrogen- for the sake of using science to save the world. God I love this book
